Siliconera has a brief interview with Cliff Bleszinski about recently released japanese version of Gears of War 2. Here's a taster:
How do you feel about the Japanese version of Gears of War 2?
Cliff Bleszinski, Lead Designer: They actually did a really good job casting the voices. Marcus sounds like, you know, how a Japanese version of Marcus would sound like and Cole Train always translates hilariously into other languages. [In an impression] It's Cole Train woo!
How do you feel about the 38/40 score by Famitsu?
I didn't know that, that's amazing to hear. Famitsu been around forever and that's an honor. That's amazing.
